First-year coach John Beilein is expected to walk away from the Cavaliers by Wednesday.

The Cavs and Beilein were in negotiations Tuesday that would allow the two to part ways, according to reports.

Beilein signed a contract last May for four years with a team option that carried a salary worth $4 to $4.5 million per year.

Beilein, 67, spent 41 years in the college ranks, the last 12 at Michigan, before jumping to the NBA this season to help direct the Cavs’ rebuild.

The Cavs (14-40) will hold their first practice following the All-Star break Wednesday and play Friday on the road against the Wizards.

Associate head coach J.B. Bickerstaff, 40, is expected to succeed Beilein. A former coach of the Grizzlies and Rockets, first taking over in an interim capacity with both, Bickerstaff would be the Cavs’ sixth coach in the last seven seasons.

The Cavs hold the second-worst record in the league and the worst mark in the Eastern Conference.

Irving still in pain: Nets guard Kyrie Irving still has pain associated with the shoulder injury that caused him to miss 26 games earlier this season and will see another specialist this week.

Irving didn’t practice Tuesday and will not play in Thursday’s road game against the 76ers.

Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said he will have more definitive news on the injury after Irving sees the specialist.
